Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a signed print of “Special Duties” by Robert Taylor, signed at the bottom by five distinguished Ju52 pilots and aircrew and two high scoring Luftwaffe Aces who flew the ME109 in combat during World War II. The frame is gorgeously put together and the print is very clear. This is a limited run print, 342/750. This and many other prints were published by The Military Gallery in Wendover England over the past 20+ years.
A Ju52 Luftflotte 2, escorted by Me109s of JG-53, transports important military personnel over the Dolomites in the summer of 1942. With the setting sun illuminating the mountain tops in a brilliant light, the panoramic vista is both chilling and spectacular. As the aircraft lumbers across the impressive mountain scenery, members of the High command can be seen in conference in the cabin, while the crew in the cockpit concentrate on their 'Special Duties' flight plan the Ju52 became the Luftwaffe's primary wartime transport aircraft, taking part in every German army land operation during World War II.
The print is signed at the bottom by the following men:
- Leutnant Herbert Kaiser - Recipient of the Knight’s Cross
- Oberleutnant Günther Seeger - Recipient of the Knight’s Cross
- Major Werner Roell - Recipient of the Knight's Cross
- Oberfeldwebel Alexander Uhlig
- Oberfeldwebel Theo Gerling
- Oberleutnant Helmut Schwarz
- Hauptmann Claus Semmelhaack
Also included is the Certificate of Authenticity from the MILITARY GALLERY, which gives a much more detailed description of the service for each veteran. Along with this is also the original brochure from when the print was announced. Both of these fit nicely into a paper slot on the back of the frame, making this a fantastic collector's opportunity!
The framing is very well done and will make a fantastic display piece. Comes ready for further research and display.
